  • Designed to meet the standard building codes and climactic requirements of your region.
  • Designed to fit the style and dimensions of your existing home.
  • Detailed construction drawings that can be used by your contractor to successfully build your project.
  • The same plans you would get from a traditional architectural firm but more affordable and faster.
Our Custom Remodeling & Addition Plans are detailed and specific so that you can:
  • Obtain financing from a bank.
  • Find how much your project should cost before you consult with a contractor.
  • Receive accurate and competitive contractor bids.
  • Successfully (and economically) build your project.
By using our fast, convenient, inexpensive online design services, you will save money on construction costs, feel more confident and organized during the often chaotic experience of remodeling, and end up with a remodel or addition that you'll truly love!

Before you invest your hard-earned money in a remodel or addition project, it is imperative you get a professionally designed set of plans so that you don't make any costly mistakes or get ripped off by a contractor.

Our Custom Remodeling & Addition Plans can be used for any kind of remodel or addition project, including family rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, garages, etc.

With a set of VirtualArchitect's Custom Remodeling & Addition Plans, you will end up with a well-designed project that looks great, costs less, and is built right!

We offer two levels of service for our Custom Remodeling & Addition Plans:

  1. Basic Design Service for projects that don't require a building permit.
  2. Full Service Design for projects that do require a building permit.
If you're not sure which service to use, e-mail us.

Basic Design Service for Remodels & Additions: Includes a Basic Design Plan and a cost estimate of your project. Use this service if:

  • Your project does not require a building permit.
  • You only need computer-drafted floor plans and exterior elevations of your remodel or addition project.
  • You want to visualize your remodel or addition on paper first and find out how much your project will cost before you get a full set of construction drawings.
  • You want to price your project with contractors before you get a full set of construction drawings.
Cost: We determine our fee on the size and complexity of your project.

Contact us for a Free Price Quote. In your e-mail, tell us the approximate size of your project, what you want to accomplish, and where you live. Please specify "Basic Design" in your message.

Full Service Design Package for Remodels & Additions: Use this service if your remodel or addition requires a local building permit for construction.

The Full Service Design Package includes:

  • A detailed set of plans that are designed to meet standard building code requirements. The plans include computer-drafted floor plans, exterior elevations, site plan, framing and foundation plans, and electrical plan.
  • A complete set of construction drawings that contain the details your contractor needs to successfully build your project.
  • A complete set of plans that are ready to be sent out to contractors for bidding. With our specific, well-defined plans, contractors can more accurately estimate the cost of your project so that you receive the most competitive bids for the job.
  • An estimated cost of construction so that you have an idea of how much your project should cost before you talk to a contractor.
Most Custom Remodeling & Addition Plans are completed within 4 to 6 weeks of your order.

Cost: We determine our fee on the size and complexity of your project. Our Custom Remodeling & Addition Plans are generally completed within 6 to 8 weeks of your order.

tips
Don't rely on your contractor to design your remodel or addition project! An architect will help you define what you want to build, present cost-saving options you and your contractor might never have considered, work within your budget to accomplish your project goals, and save you money on construction costs.

The most important part of planning an addition is to make sure it blends in with the existing structure of your house. An addition that looks "tacked on" will significantly reduce the resale value of your home and its appearance. Get the help of a design professional.

questions
Q: How do I know the plans I get from VirtualArchitect will qualify for a building permit?

A: Because all city residential permit requirements are based on three standard building codes, they are all very similiar and easy to follow. Once we ship your final plans to you, if you find they require changes for a building permit, we will do them for you at no additional charge.

Please e-mail us if you're not sure which service to use.
